"Yes," Zeke hisses at Gabrielle, "We're all well aware of that, but we can stand upright, and you cannot. So don't blame me for puttin' more attention into your predica—"
It's then he's interrupted by Duane. Furrowing his brow, he mumbles and grumbles for a moment before relenting. "Yes, we're indeed running out of time here...this Cleo and her men could be drawing closer by the second..."
Sven wasn't expecting a "whichever you want" answer to his question, which leaves him awkwardly trying to make a choice...
During which time another conversation springs up among the group, leaving him feeling even more awkward standing there.
...and now the smaller mouse has come up with a different plan. At this, Sven has to voice his objections.
Uhh, will that even work? I mean none of you look like you'll hide his silhouette for very long...
The possum is a potential perpetrator; he did place possum poo in the plum pot."I can stand up just fine, Zeke. I'm just a little lightheaded." Gabrielle replied, exasperated. "Besides, we're stallin' here. Making a big-ass deal about a little nosebleed's not helpin' Ira here!"
Hey how you doing well I'm doing just fine I lied I'm dying insideThe new guy's got a point. Can I just...how about I just copy one of you guys' forms for a few minutes while we run back or something? (Ira asks.) If anyone asks, I'm just someone's twin sibling from here or something? I really don't want to risk anyone from Cleo's ship seeing me, especially since I'm sure they all know what I look like when in my normal form.
"Hey, least I didn't lose all my artistic talent when I crash landed in the arena here."It's not about efficiency, it's about speed, and stealth. Cleo will not mind a group of crewmen if the crewmen seems like they don't need minding, y'know? My stressing is that Cleo's bound to see us if we sit around squabbling about which way is best. Duane is stressing this, anxiously peering out, toward Cleo's boat.
He hears Ira's plan. If you're doing it, do it now.

HuzzahSure, fine, let's go with that! (Ira says.)
(He does a second long haka and instantly copies Sven's appearance (clothes included).)
Okay, guys, let's get going! (Ira begins moving forward toward the ship.)
(Meanwhile, at the boat, the floating foreign object beside seems to have broken into pieces like an eggshell. A tail disappears through a porthole on the boat not far from where the pieces float.)
"Hey, least I didn't lose all my artistic talent when I crash landed in the arena here."Gabrielle stands up. She wobbles a little, but manages to stabilize herself and straighten her back.
Just act natural, don't give him away...
Hey how you doing well I'm doing just fine I lied I'm dying insideWith the knife in hand, Tom examines the blade for a few seconds before bringing it down towards the whetstone and drawing the blade across its length at about a 15 degree angle, working it back and forth repeatedly on both sides of the blade, keeping the sharp side away from him as he works it. After the initial bit of sharpening, he looks up again to Kauri and temporarily pauses his work.
"Something like that, but I'll need some water to continue. Can you get a bucket of it for me?"
I need to update these things more oftenMelvin follows the group, although he has not at all been paying attention to the conversation that's been going on. Instead, he can't help but stare at Cleo's ship.
"Mmm... Cleo's got a nice vessel. She must be a powerful captain. What I wouldn't give to let her rob me..."

Very good kittyY-Yeah, she's always been pretty good with sailing. (Ira says, giving Melvin a slightly bemused look.) Not as good with the decorating, though. She's one of those "pile-on-all-the-decor" types...
(If Kauri goes below deck as he looks for a bucket and looks toward the back, he'll see a large, blubber-y-looking creature asleep in the back corner. It appears to be covered in dark-green and beige fish scales, has reptilian arms but no legs, a fish-like tail, a shark-like face, and a dorsal fin on the top of its head. It is sleeping with a pleasant-looking smile on its face.)
"Hey, least I didn't lose all my artistic talent when I crash landed in the arena here.""I-I'm not falling for her!" Melvin insists, despite blushing Through a Face Full of Fur. "I'm just admiring the value of her ship and possessions, that's all!"
Very good kitty(At this point, Ira can't help but chuckle, even though they're talking about the dragon who will really ruin his day if she finds them. He finds himself imagining the potential awkwardness of such a situation and his chuckle winds up ending in a bit of a cringe.)
"Hey, least I didn't lose all my artistic talent when I crash landed in the arena here.""NOOO! You guys don't understand!"
Melvin buries his face in his arms and tries to run off, only to smack into the mast.
"Ow."

Very good kitty

"Ira, I think we all need to get to the ship at this point," retorted Gabrielle, "Not just me."
